Strategic Portfolio Management Workshop powered by PDMA
|
|
|
|
|
Will your portfolio drive the growth your company needs? It is a common fallacy that a portfolio of safe reliable projects will deliver safe reliable results. Often a portfolio with risky uncertain projects is actually the safer bet to meet growth goals.
|
|
|
|
|
Register for the Strategic Portfolio Management Workshop powered by PDMA and learn how to power your company to meet these growth goals through governance, good project management and good choices. This is a live, hands-on virtual event that will feature the founder of SmartOrg, David Matheson, PhD.

PDMA Webcast: Enterprise Agility at Scale
|
|
|
|
|
When:
Thursday, January 21, 2021
11AM CT / 12PM ET
PDH Credit: 1
Description
Most companies are in the process of transforming to a new world of ‘Agility’. This topic intends to look at Enterprise Agility through a lens of Lean Software/Product development and principles of ‘Theory of Constraints’. Typically, Agile for most companies is limited to processes like Scrum and Kanban which addresses only one piece of the product development lifecycle. This presentation talks about various agility tools available to address all stages of product development as well as problems that prevent scaling up your agile organization. It will show the broad picture of Enterprise Agility by going beyond the buzz words like Digital transformation, DevOps transformation, Cloud transformation etc. Finally, it intends to demonstrate what separates digital native companies who have achieved immense scale in a fraction of time from traditional product development companies. This topic is mostly relevant to Software based products, although the principles can be applied to any product.

PDMA New Membership Options (it’s good news)
|
|
|
|
|
PDMA is excited to be rolling-out new membership options effective today. This process started almost a year ago with an internal analysis of membership data that led to an in-depth voice of customer research. We learned that members and prospects were happy with PDMAs features and benefits but wanted some different options for participating as members and at a lower cost. We then took a few months to recraft the membership options. You can view the new membership categories and costs here.
This change comes at a time when we are experiencing a wonderful proliferation of chapter activity globally, having recently published the second edition of the PDMA Body of Knowledge, increased interest in our certification program by public and private institutions throughout the world and as we are about to distribute a new Comparative Performance Assessment Study (CPAS). We also have additional projects slated for 2021 related to training and certification in development that we will be excited to report on as they progress.
Our primary goal with this change is growth in our PDMA community worldwide. Please help us (and yourself) by continuing to be a valued member or joining if you are not. If you are a current member, the new, lower rate will be reflected on your renewal statement. For non-members – this is a great time to join a fantastic organization. Please also consider recruiting a colleague by sharing this article. We are happy to be sharing this news and look forward to a successful 2021 full of continued growth and development all in support of our members and the profession.
